"Ubuntu One" name creates confusion (Mark Shuttleworth's response)

WEBINAR:On-Demand

"Canonical will NOT be giving up its title to the Ubuntu
trademark, as suggested, but nor will it flounce out of the room
and say "screw the community". Of that you can be sure ;-). The
road ahead lies in finding strengths and shared opportunities on
both sides.

"Maybe someone will say "this is it, I quit, I don't want to
work on Ubuntu together with Canonical, I don't want a world which
is more diverse than my specific values". If they do, that's their
prerogative. Remember, the Ubuntu project has always been defined
by that collaboration - company and community - it's nothing new,
and it gets stronger when we remind ourselves of that and when
people with wildly different expectations leave. There's no sense
in calling people names over this - it's perfectly acceptable for
people to want different things. I'm just interested in working
well with those who are actually interested in exploring how open
source, and commercial success, can go hand in hand. And Ubuntu One
is part and parcel of that exploration."
